Meet My Choir:
Salisbury Community Choir

Chorister Edward Bull tells us about Salisbury Community Choir.

“Meet My Choir” is part of a Radio 3 programme called “The Choir” which is broadcast at 4pm on Sundays. In this feature local choirs are invited to send in a recording of their music along with some information about the choir itself. Ed Bull, a long-standing member of the choir, talks about why SCC is so special to those who sing in it and what it has achieved.

Salisbury Community Choir is a thriving amateur choir with over 150 members

The choir sings for the sheer love of it, but also challenges itself to develop up to and beyond its potential. The choir is non auditioned, some members read music and some do not. The mixture works and with patient encouragement from Jeremy, our fantastic Musical Director, the choir achieves amazing performance successes, whilst having a lot of fun along the way!

We are ambitious and adventurous musically, commissioning new works and organising and performing in both small and large scale concerts all over the UK. We regularly tour abroad, mainly to Europe, but have adventured further afield.

The SCC has a big heart and we have a real community focus, supporting each other and fundraising for a diverse range of charities, from Hospices to Homelessness.

If you love to sing, have a spirit of adventure and would like to be part of our community why not come and try us out!

The SCC thrives on the variety of the music it sings, from choral classics to classic pop!

Recent repertoire includes:

Will Todd: The City Garden (SCC commission)

Bob Chilcott: The Salisbury Vespers (SCC joint commission)

Folk based songs and arrangements from Percy Grainger, Philip Lawson and Jonathan Rathbone, Will Todd and many more.

SCC is embedded at the heart of its local community raising money for a variety of different charities locally, nationally and internationally for example Salisbury Hospice, Salisbury Young Carers, Fordingbridge Church Fund, Salisbury Trust for the Homeless and the Rainbow Trust.
